I am from South Africa, visiting the UK and would like to apply for a multiple entry Schengen visa to visit Paris. Is that possible?

And will it possible to use the Schengen visa to visit Italy etc?

Best Answer

Short answer: Yes.

I have several friends from South Africa who have either moved to the UK, or who have been just visiting the UK.

They regularly then apply for Schengen visas - multiple entry, especially if they're doing a big trip - like one that includes darting off to Egypt or similar. A multi-entry Schengen visa certainly exists, and you can certainly apply for it from the UK, even if not a British Citizen.

Finally, I believe you specify on the application where you want to go, so mentioning Italy would make that easy, but regardless, you can travel anywhere within the Schengen area once you're inside - there are no borders.

Can I enter multiple times on a UK visitor visa?

If you need a visa, you must apply for a Standard Visitor visa before you arrive in the UK. Your visa will be multiple entry, so you can leave during breaks and return to the UK using the same visa as long as it is valid.

Can I apply for multiple entry Schengen visa?

Schengen visas may allow for a single-entry or multiple entries. With a single-entry visa you can enter the Schengen area only once. This is indicated on the visa sticker by "01". With a visa allowing for two or multiple entries you may enter twice or several times during the validity of the visa.

Can I apply for UK and Schengen visa together?

As a result, the Schengen and UK visa are two independent endorsements and neither of them alone can grant you entry in the other. However, there is a silver lining to this. Both these visas make getting the other easier. In fact, you can even possess a UK and Schengen visa together and visit one after the other.

Can I apply for two UK visa at the same time?

No problem at all, you can apply for as many visas as you need and meet the criteria for. It must be noted that some visas have an expiry date so applying too far in advance of your travels would invalidate the visa. Can a person be issued two visas of the same country? Yes.
